Your bones they drown
Drown inside your skin
Your features thin

What they could have been

I ask your blood to dance
And there your mouth it smiles
You know what my words meant

You have lived too long

You said to me, a whisper without tone
Fingers tense, tense along your throat
And down it goes, the liquid flows
And then surrounds, surrounds your soul
Your heart it plays on forever
It beats your mind and that time
That time I think you broke
I rest across your breast
Supple, smooth,

I’ll know you soon

I’ll mend your crown
Crown of gold
And in the ground I’ll go

Deep down

In search of the perfect jewel
That one belongs to you
I’ll find others there too
But this one’s for you, golden eyes
You wait, you wait
I am floating in space today
Pull me back and I’ll show my great,
Great treasures,
To you, and only you
To you I whisper, and this with tone

I will save your bones
I will dive into your flesh
A home within my home
You will live and I will hold
Your tense hands
Your smirking blood
And your widest eyes

I can, if you’ll let me try, shining smile.
